OOOh forgot to say I did finish the Crochet Blanket - remember the challenge - will take a pic tomorrow! There - not so bad after all.

Thanks for listening, Guess what - time for drinky poos:beer::beer:

Wool sounds lovely Shelly, too bad I already have 700g of 4ply I keep avoiding

Lorna, could you not use it double and do your aaron squares ? It would get rid of it :T and you wouldn`t have to keep taking evasive action !!

I really missed my knitting, I was wandering around the ship one day and there was a woman in the reading room knitting like crazy, and I though ooo I could have bought mine with me, and we could have formed our own knit and natter group :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Good to see you back Anne!
Love the dinosaur jumper Maytaurus.

Have posted this on the knitters thread but thought you ladies may be interested too..........


http://www.readicut.co.uk/category.asp?cat_id=SPKN&jump=16&sfile=1

Readicut have some good offers on at the moment if anyone is feeling brave including Sirdar Click 500g pot luck for 7.80. Not sure I'm willing to chance it after last time though - got substitutions on both my orders and only liked one but left it too late to return the other.

Giving them one more chance and have ordered Sirdar peru 500g pot luck pack for 9.89 x 2. Wish me luck!

OnlyGirl

Hello everyone,

I hope your all enjoying May Day and that the weather is better where you are, very grim here today.

Maytaurus - Thank you for the dino sweater pattern, ds2 will love it. You truly are a star.:A

K2tog - Thanks for the link to the bargain wool I have put my order in, managed to limit myself to only one pack of pot luck sirdar, I'm starting to hide my stash all over the house now, not a good sign:o. Couldn't resist picking up a few balls from b&m while I was in town last week either.

Have a lovely day, speak to you all soon.:D

Hi to everyone

Really cold here today-- the exact opposite of yesterday.

I practiced my Reiki on DSIL ( The knitting transporter!! ) I was worried she was going to get the giggles-- to which she is prone, BUT no-- she loved it so that was really good and boosted my confidence.

No knitting done as yet but will finish off my crochet lap blanket this evening. I feel like doing something completely different next but don't know what. Or else I might do some more hedgehogs as there was loads of the eyelash wool in the freecycling bag and they are cute.

PippaS -- Welcome back. Glad you had a lovely holiday.

Maytaurus -- Hope you feel well over the next few days It is lovely to see you posting

Love to everyone, lurkers, posters, watchers and Uncle Tom Cobbley and all
